Caitríona Redmond: How to make my slow-cooker lamb-shank tacos

Plus: how meal-prep bags can help save time in a busy kitchen

Lamb shank is a cut that requires plenty of slow cooking. Lamb can tolerate strong seasoning making it a great vehicle for introducing new flavours to picky eaters. By slow cooking the vegetables they take on a lovely soft texture, another bonus.

As the weather has started getting colder, the slow cooker has resumed its 24/7 pride of place on the kitchen countertop. 

I do use it all year around, but it’s never put to as good use as in the autumn and winter.
